Seems to be resolved now, however…
It might be a coincident but I had just opened up phpMyAdmin through Bluehost cPanel to look to see if the data was there – it was. This may have kicked the authentication into action.
As with FreeRoamSoul, I’m with BlueHost and have WP 2.9.1 installed via SimpleScripts.
All was working perfectly well for months till I woke this morning to find ‘Error establishing a database connection’. Same thing is happening on 3 of my blogs sites.
I’ve checked the wp_config.php files and all seems correct, however I can’t confirm whether the password is correct as have never been sent it. Can’t seem to find anyway through SimpleScripts to reset it either. Am I looking in the wrong place?
